it's new year's eve

Both Dai Li and Dai Fei went home.This year's New Year's Eve is the same as in previous years. The three of them made scallion rolls, steamed buns, pot-packed meat, pork stewed vermicelli, chicken stewed mushrooms, and dumplings. According to the custom, coins were put in one of the dumplings, and coins were eaten. The person who is a sign of good luck in the coming year.

Regarding Dai Huayang's condition, they always kept Dai Fei from it, so in order to cover the pinhole on his arm, Dai Huayang was wearing thick long sleeves in the heating room.

"Dad, aren't you hot?" Dai Fei put the food on the table, arranged the chopsticks, and asked.

"It's not hot, I still feel a little cold."

Dai Fei, who was wearing short sleeves, was very puzzled. He frowned and said quietly to Dai Li, "Is our father weak? The heater is so hot that it's still too cold."

In order to help his father lie, Dai Li said expressionlessly: "Is it hot? I also feel quite cold." He actually went to add some clothes.

Dai Fei stood in front of the table, looked at the two people like he was crazy, and shook his head.

The opening music of the festive Spring Festival Gala came from the TV——

"China Central Television!"

"China Central Television!"

"China Central Television!"

Dai Li took a bite of food: "Why do you repeat this sentence three times every year?"

Dai Huayang said: "You don't understand this? Why don't you say important things three times."

Dai Fei: "..."

Dai Li: "..."

Dai Huayang's chopsticks stopped at his mouth: "Isn't it funny?"

Dai Fei: "It's not funny."

The old father was embarrassed.Dai Li rescued the scene and said: "Eat quickly, it will be cold in a while."

Dai Fei remembered that he hadn't seen his father take out a cigarette since he came home, so he asked, "Dad, have you quit smoking?"

"..." Dai Huayang was taken aback, "Ah, yes, you have always disliked me smoking."

"It's good to quit." Dai Fei was very satisfied, and nodded like a little adult, "It should have been quit long ago, otherwise it will be too late when something really happens to the body."

Hearing this, Dai Huayang could only laugh: "Yes... yes... my son is right..."

Dai Li raised his glass: "Let's bang each other."

His and Dai Fei's glasses were filled with beer, while Dai Huayang's was filled with hot milk.

Dai Fei: "Dad, have you quit drinking?"

"Um...yes, quit them all, quit."

Dai Huayang was so guilty that he was sweating profusely.

Dai Li said: "I wish us all the best next year, and I wish Xiaofei a bright future."

Dai Huayang: "I wish both our sons happiness."

Dai Fei thought for a while and said, "I wish Dad good health and peace and success."

"Don't waste your New Year's wishes on me!" Dai Huayang scolded his son very dissatisfied.

Dai Li didn't say a word, and drank the wine in the glass with his head sullenly, feeling a burning pain in his throat.

The three toasted, Dai Fei put on his coat and said he was going to the balcony to get frozen persimmons, Dai Huayang took advantage of this time and said to Dai Li, "He didn't see anything, did he?"

Dai Li looked as usual: "Don't worry, no."

At this time, Dai Fei's voice came from the balcony: "Brother, come and help me."

Dai Li stood up and walked out: "What's wrong?"

It was very cold on the balcony, and there was heavy snow falling outside the house, and it was a vast expanse of whiteness.In the cold wind, Dai Fei looked cold and stared at him motionlessly: "What happened to our dad?"

Dai Li: "What are you talking about?"

"Don't lie to me, it's all like this, I'm a fool if I don't see anything else."

Dai Li's expression froze for a few seconds, and then, as expected, he rubbed his eyebrows: "You really saw it."

He let out a breath very slowly, curling his fingers tightly where he couldn't see.

After a long time, a deep voice sounded from the empty balcony: "Esophageal cancer."

These three words have a forbearing trill.If he hadn't heard it from his brother himself, Dai Fei would almost have thought it was a joke.

But he knew that his brother never joked with him.

He felt that his heart stopped beating for at least half a second. It was not until half a second passed that the heart resumed beating more violently than usual. He could even hear the sound of eardrums being impacted.

"How much..." After a long time, the first word he spoke became inexplicably hoarse, almost tearing his throat, with an indescribably jerky tingling sensation, "How long?"

"It's been four months of chemotherapy." Dai Li told him.

Dai Fei has always been calm and self-sustaining. He has almost never lost his composure since he was a child. His emotions seem to be fixed in a certain range. There is no great joy or great sorrow.

He took a deep breath, arched his whole body, and squatted on the ground.Ever since Dai Fei graduated from elementary school, he has restrained his childishness and behaved like an adult. At this moment, Dai Li couldn't see his expression at all, but could only see his trembling back, like a helpless child, as if he had been His armor was broken.

Broken all over the floor.

Dai Li let his younger brother squat down, vented in his own way for a while, then slowly walked over, put his hands on his shoulders, and said calmly and forcefully: "Don't be afraid, everything will be fine, everything will be fine. To brother."

When the two brothers entered the room, the Spring Festival Gala was in the midst of a skit, and a well-known old sketch artist shouted to the audience: "Dear audience friends, I miss you so much!"

Dai Huayang laughed happily: "Why did you come in?"

"The pears are frozen on the anti-theft net and cannot be pulled out."

"Pull it down! There are things you can't pull out?" Dai Huayang said, "Hurry up and eat something warm, look at your faces are flushed from the cold."

The three of them sat in a circle again and began to eat dumplings.

After a while, Dai Huayang yelled, and then spat out a coin from his mouth: "I'll go, I ate it."

Dai Li looked at the coin representing good luck, never superstitious, but said sincerely at this moment: "Dad will have good luck in the coming year."

Dai Huayang scratched his head and laughed out loud.

Dai Fei also laughed, and when he smiled, his eyes blurred.

Dai Li rubbed his head: "Why are you crying! Be happy!"

Dai Fei wiped his face carelessly: "Well, happy, I am happy."
